I came across a weird smell in the train.

I kept recalling what smell is that..BINGO! It's the smell of the "dairy" of my primary days. You know, those that you always pester people to write on a "fragrant dairy" for you, especially when its at the end of the year? eg. personal particulars, poems etc. I can still remember a poem that goes,

Happy Mary in the town,
Naughty Johnny push her down,
Lucky Jacky pull her up,
And they both went out.

But curiously, where did that smell come from? Is it a perfume???

First practical lesson for my 2B licence.

I'm having a big big problem of trying to get the bike on its stand! Pull until my lungs out but still cant get it on its stand! Anyone pls advise? I will have to retake the lesson again as the instructor deemed my accelerating as poor as well as my carelessness in not switching off the signal after completing a turn! Hey, come'on la! Wad do you expect for my 1st lesson?

The equipment that we have to use include helmet, gloves, elbow guard & knee guard. My first lesson was a "cock-up" as i went there empty-handed. All 4 equipments stinks like hell! I have no idea if they really wash the equipments frequently? Or just dry in under the sun. Nevertheless, i can only blame myself for not bringing anything to the lesson!

Riding a bike is really no joke. Learning how to control the bike is very important. There was one occasion where i nearly fly off as i released the clutch too fast. Balancing is also essential in order not to lose your balance and wobble off.

Another lesson coming on the way..just hope that i can move on to the next stage, if not, pocket hole will get bigger and bigger!

Eating and drinking is not allowed in stations and trains.....

Sick of hearing this all the time while travelling in MRT but Singaporeans really need constant reminder to stop eating and drinking. LTA did their very best to come up with solutions like fines which can escalate up to 500bucks! Based on their website, drinking plain water is inclusive which i feel that its too ridiculous. What can plain water cause? spillage maybe? But certainly does not create any form of nuisance! Articles of people drinking and eating in trains are published now and then. So how to prevent? Maybe we should educate Singaporeans on why eating and drinking is probihited and what kind of nuisance it can create, instead of fines fines fines. Aren't we proud that foreigners decide Singapore as a fine city? Well..im Very proud!

After nearly 4 months since the day i registered for my class 2B, i finally start their theory lesson today. Not forgetting to thank my beloved ger who has been nagging at me non-stop! Come'on, i was so busy with my work man~ recently just got a chance to clear my leave, so just take this opportunity to go for the lessons! Hope she will stop nagging at me, by then if i become crazy, it's gonna be too late! I'm not sure if anyone had been to SSDC and use their self-kiosk? It's definitely not user-friendly, so hard to tap on it and if i had chosen a date, seems like i cant cancel it?

Tomorrow is my referee course theory test! Seriously, there's alot to cover including the 17 laws of the game! I had no idea why there are 17. But anyway, just had to bear with it. After completion, there's still the fitness test to go. Wish me lots of luck, cos i need it badly!

FYI: A ball is consider to be out of play if it has WHOLLY crossed the line.

3rd day of referee basic course.

Didnt have time to update on my 2nd day of the course. Went home, POM, lie flat in bed! Anyway, had our FIFA referee Shamsul Maideen as our instructor. Wah~ He was a fit and cool man, and he looked younger than on TV. I managed to get his autograph

Today we have a feel of what's like to official a mini game. It's really, really hard that even a simple thing blowing a whistle need some sort of technique, if not it will sound awkward. Nevertheless, it lets me know that being a referee is not that easy afterall. I think i shall not scold "referee kayu" anymore when watching Sleague matches...

2009-08-14T00:34:00.003+08:00

1st day of referee course.

Already struggling to memorise all the laws of the game. It's really tough being a referee, just like my job, have to be thick-skinned and withstand all the abuses. Other than this, you will need to be decisive at that split second with no regrets after the action is taken. Before i even complete day 1 of the course, i already dream about being a FIFA referee. It will take years to make it there but i can only keep my fingers crossed that i can make it all the way!

At least i now have a new goal in life, to be a FIFA referee!

2009-08-12T23:55:00.013+08:00

Just back from running! Phew~ shag! nono..i need to keep fit cos i want $$$ from the SAF! My IPPT coming so had to suck some $$$ from them! I'm going to miss the AHM 09 as i opted to go for the FAS referee course. The thought of controlling the game and screwing soccer stars for their fouls makes me really excited!

Found a website pretty great! It makes really nice magazine cover with any chosen photo! Kinda cheeky! haha~

My ger

My gal

My little gal, she is the wildest cheeky little creature that you can ever find. She is friendly, but too over friendly. Everytime someone walk past her, she will "stand" up and lean herself against their legs, trying to say Hello! Small dogs are afraid of her as she's rough when they smell each other. There was once me and my ger bring her out for a walk at night. A stranger walk past and she just suddenly turn and wanted to smell him, but he gave a BIG reaction by jumping and turning his back and run! Imagine someone saw a ghost! Yea, that's how he reacted. Nearly fall into the drain! Wah~ He must have been chased by a dog before! Woooo! felt apologetic...

Went to the library and borrowed Danielle Steel's books. Anyone read this book before?

Her first book I'd read is Toxic Bachelor. I would recommend this book as it tells how women can change the mindset of bachelors towards love!

Here's a little peek of this book;

3 daunting bachelors were the best of friends. Charlie Harrington, a charming, handsome philanthropist, has such high expectations for his perfect bride that no mortal need apply... Adam Weiss, a forty-something celebrity lawyer, prefers his women very young, very voluptuous, and very short term... Gray Hawk, a gifted artist with a knack for attracting troubled relationships, women are fine; it’s just the idea of family he can’t imagine (particularly the family of the woman he’s dating).

Now, the three friends, spending their annual summer vacation cruising the Mediterranean aboard Charlie’s majestic yacht, are about to have their bachelorhoods rocked. By autumn, all three will fall precipitously into relationships they never saw coming. Charlie begins dating a crusading social worker who couldn’t be further from his ideal — until he makes a stunning discovery about her. Adam gets involved with his usual twenty-something bombshell - only this one has a remarkable mind of her own. And Gray, who has avoided both business and family like the plague, has managed to fall head over heels for a successful career woman - who just happens to be a mother as well.

As another holiday on the yacht approaches, and with it, a turning point in each man’s life, the three bachelors are forced to face the things that scare them most: their phobias about relationships, the wounds of the past — and the kind of women who challenge their deepest terrors. What happens next will spark big changes for Charlie, Adam, and Gray - and might just put an end to their carousing days forever. For as the once-carefree trio is about to discover, love is the most unpredictable adventure of all.

For the past 2 days, i'd been attending the powerpoint design course. The training provider was Impress! Well..i was rather "impressed" with the trainer. I cant really get it as in why "angmohs" can present so well? Anyway, i learnt about how powerful microsoft powerpoint 2007 can be in terms of drawing 3D diagrams. But if you ask me how to do it now? I think i'd forgotten how to..

Check out this http://presentationslides.blogspot.com for more.

My girl bought for me.....

Tadah!

Been looking for this for a very long time, this jersey is donned by great players like Zola, M.Hughes, Di Matteo, Tore Andre Flo! Rare collectible! Thanks ger! Loves!

I quite a regular reader of Stomp.

Check this out!

Amazing!!! Two students making out at the carpark! Nowadays students are so daring. Just wondering what the schools are doing in terms of sex education? I cant imagine 10 years down the road, will this be happening to more open public areas? Maybe the relevant authorities should do something about it? MOE? or perhaps NEA?

Do Singaporeans need constant reminder about giving up seats to someone who needs it more than us? We have to come to this stage where the seat are labelled as RESERVED! I applauded SMRT for going the extra mile. Going from Volunteering, to Priority, to Reserved! They even created a rap song lead by Gurmit Singh. Gosh~ aren't we ashamed of ourselves Singaporeans? I think the reserved label on the seat is very efficient as no one will dare to take the seat because of typical Singaporean's FACE.

Seems like it's time for this Singa Courtesy Lion to make more appearances in trains.

2009-06-05T00:04:00.006+08:00

Come across this at the bicycle stand near Peck Seah St at Tanjong Pagar. A new way to cope with the economic downturn.

This is how my nephew look like while playing with my PSP. Kids are kids. Whenever he come to my house, he will ask me "jiujiu, an an zai na li?". I replied "jiejie na li". He said "OoOrh". Well..thanks to my ger that he did not have a chance to play! If not he will pester me to teach him play my fave Grand Theft Auto.

I love gers who wear red spects cos it will make them look hot and sexy! Whooooo! I think my ger is trying too hard to look hot and sexy cos this spects is hers. Guys, do not wear red spects. It will look awkward..or maybe only me.

2009-06-02T01:19:00.005+08:00

New manager is here! Presenting Mr Carlo Ancelotti! Pls bring us back the glory days like u did with AC Milan, especially the Champions League Trophy. Till now, I still dream about John Terry lifting the Champions League Trophy! And pls bring KaKa along with u, but leave out Sheva!

My ger finally got her much awaited car licence...with her 2nd attempt! Well done! Waiting to have the chance for u to fetch me around with your new car? Cos everytime when i drive, u will be sleeping with gerger! Nows my turn! Saw my tester while waiting for ger to complete her test. I will never forget how he look like. Wearing a typical old man shades and with pocked face. If anyone were to be tested by him, dun mind thanked him for letting me pass 2 years ago?

It's really tough working in NEA. My friend just recently criticise NEA for not doing enough to protect our environment. Pls la, its not like I'm the CEO. If I am, i will definitely emphasize on protecting the environment. Actually there's nuthing much we can do, its all about the social responsibility of Singaporeans. Basic things like not littering. Till now, alot of people still litter despite $300 fine! So..u tell me how to protect the environment where we Singaporeans cant start off? Why dun u pray for me to be the next CEO ok?

Gees~

Never mind about missing the Champions League. We still got the FA Cup! It was a great way to say goodbye to Guus! Thanks Guus, for winning us at least a silverware!

Whenever i see this brand;

It keeps me wondering why it is so expensive? Overrated? I myself didnt have a chance to use it! Is it worth the money? or is it just another "must have" brand for teenagers? advise pls? I rather have a deuter. Talking about brands? I'm filled with envy or perhaps jealousy towards teenagers nowadays. While i was travelling on the bus, sitting infront of me is a JC boy with his Imac and Iphone. During my time, owning a normal laptop & Nokia 8310 is already a kind of happiness! In time to come, alot of spoilt brats will be born.

I have a new noticeboard! But didnt seems like a noticeboard. My ger help me decorate it with photos. More like a photoboard perhaps?

Tomorrow is my ger's driving test, wishing her all the best!

2009-05-30T00:07:00.005+08:00

Congrats Barca! On winning the 2009 Champions League!

I can only watch with jealousy! I can only dream...dreaming the one lifting the trophy is John Terry! When will it be my beloved Chelsea turn? Looking forward to next season! Now only left with the FA Cup! Pls win it for Guus!

I'm now starting to take motorbike licence. No choice cos everytime when i send my ger back, it will take 2 hours to and fro my house. Especially Sat, i will miss my soccer matches! I can imagine myself wearing this helmet on the motorbike;

Man~ I look like an idiot with that "coconut" husk helmet! This helmet is worn by my supervisor's boy when he bring him to school every weekday. As he got no other helmet, i can only wear this helmet on his bike! Look like a smallboy on the way to school!

Ger bought this model kit from Popular. Initially she bought this for me to make for her but i kinda duno how to! Well..we managed to finish this together! See my gerger disturbing? She always like to! Hope this will be our future house together with gerger cos it seems that she love it alot!

LOves!

2009-03-18T00:23:00.003+08:00

Who are they? They are Oasis! The long forgotten band? Well..im going to their concert on the 5th Apr 09 with my girl! My girl told me that she hadn't been to any concert so i thought of letting her experience this rock n roll band! (I'm sorry i lied, i just want a company!) Sadly, she only know a song by them "Wonderwall"! Hey girl, pls get to know them, then will your experience be unforgettable!

Few days back i read an article on newpaper about a guy who bought 10 coldplay tickets and donated 4 to the newpaper for contesting. The winner? Best letter that describe why they deserved the tickets! The reason for the guy wanting newpaper to have this contest is because he is against those who auction away the tickets on ebay. Yesterday my girl showed me the ebay coldplay ticket auction. The latest bid is $757 whereby the most expensive ticket cost only $248! It's ridiculous isn't it? Seems like people is making use of this to do business! Will the relevant authorities pls act?

2009-03-16T23:51:00.004+08:00

Recently, im addicted to this game on my PSP;

-Grand Theft Auto-

Still remember few months back there was a freak accident that occured at Thailand where a teenager, who claims that he is "inspired" by this game, murdered a taxi driver! After playing for so long, i realise that this game is going to have a negative impact on youngsters. You can kill anyone and rob them of their money using all sorts of weapons etc. alot of killing is involved. But for me, its a way to destress after a long day of work.

Few months back, i took up the course "Environment Control Officer" course sponsored by NEA. So these few days, i'm studying hard for the exam which will be on tomorrow. It's been a long time since i last sat for an exam, kindly feeling nervous! Today is the start of the school holidays. Thinking back, being a student is so shiok, get to enjoy holidays! But life is contradicting. When u are still in school, u will tend to feel that working is better cos there's no homework to do. But if u are working, u will feel that studying is better cos u dun have to worry about trying to save yr job and earning money!

To the students, happy holidays!
To me, happy working!

2009-03-16T00:07:00.002+08:00

Today on my way back home after sending girl, i saw an old auntie searching the bins for aluminium cans. Come to think about it, in this society, i'm one of the more fortunate ones.

I should be contented that i have a job on hand but i'm not that really happy. These few days, alot of people are asking about my bonus. In case you duno, for public servants, we will be getting a performance bonus late this March. I know that alot of people must be looking at us like our jobs are not affected especially during this economic crisis, but no one really knows how stressful it is to be a public servant. This is really not the time to relax and have that mentality that our job is the safest during this period. Right now at this very moment, people's expectation of us will be much much higher. That stressful part is to be able to perform to our very best. Well..let me enjoy and look forward to this PB...as a way of rewarding myself for the hard work i will be going to be putting in.....

We had our dinner at V8 cafe @ Bugis Junction. It's another alternative to Cafe Cartel or Swedsens. Comparable to Han's, can even get discount when u hav safra card.

While i walked past Shaw House, i came across these. Marilyn Monroe?

I dun wish to know but cos of my ger, i came to know that my dog is a RAT TERRIER and not a JACK RUSSELL TERRIER! But i remember vividly that when i purchased her, the breeder told me that she is a JRT!

RAT TERRIER

JACK RUSSELL TERRIER

MY GAL

No doubt according to studies, rat terriers are often mistaken for a jack russell terrier. Hey, no wonder, my JRT wanna-be look so different compared with other pure JRT breeds? Or maybe my gal is a mixed pure? Well..whatever it is, i dun wish to noe, cos whatever she is, i still love her the same!

And ger, pls dun be jealous, i love u too!

2008-12-22T00:39:00.003+08:00

Christmas is drawing near! Any programmes? Well..im working yet again! I juz dun get it! People work civil service i also, but people work from 8-5 5 days a week but I work everyday! At this period of time, the most hated place for me to go is Orchard Rd cos its packed and the road is always congested! December is always the month of $$$ cos many people will be getting their bonus including me. To reward myself for all the hard work this year, i bought myself a Ralph Lauren shirt. But i shall save it for Chinese New Year!

Have you ever seen old people give up seats before? YES! This is wad i experience while on the train. A lady was carrying bags of i think clothes and she was standing infront of this old man at the "priority seat" Suprisingly, he gave up his seat to her and she "kindly" took it! Well..tats so shameful of her! Claps!

2008-12-15T00:37:00.002+08:00

I borrowed a car from my bro-in-law and drove my ger to Mount Faber Park on a Saturday night. It was a spiral way up, reminds me of Initial D. On the way to the peak, i noticed many cars parked at the side of the road (zig-zag line.) I saw an empty slot, thought of parking in but didnt cos the slot is quite small. PHEW! Thanked god i move on, cos the farking TP IS A JUST FEW CARS INFRONT! But other than this, the view is very nice. Guess i had to go another Weekday!

Now is the trend of FBT shorts for gers uh? Whenever i go, be it town or neighbourhood, i sure see a handful. So what are they trying to show? Their beautiful slender thighs? Oh well..maybe? But i guess alot of guys sure love it! Right?

I need some agreement. A colleague of mine told me that japanese gers are sexually active. Is it true? Because, his friend was a chauffeur for a Japanese boss n luckily, his daughter always pester him to have sex wif her. So what happen next? Ofcoz his friend agree la! Who wun?

2008-12-10T01:09:00.003+08:00

Today my ger went for her facial. Hey, i wish to clarify something; ger is my GF, whereas gal is my Doggie! no mixing up k? I juz think that my ger is now becoming more and more narcissistic which to simply it, means that my pocket hole will be slowly becoming wider and wider.

Gosh~ Now its SONY's turn to cut their staff. Thank God I'm lucky enough to be in a government sector. I read an article recently that says the number of foreign workers in Singapore; the figure is about 25% of the total population here. I know alot of Singaporeans muz be complaining why government is encouraging foreigners to come and 'snatch' jobs with us but lets ask ourselves; who will want to work as a construction worker? Rather then complaining, why not do something about it?

I saw a Sikh wearing the turban while riding a motorcycle. Obviously its not a helmet that can protect the head. So is it legal or illegal?

2008-12-09T00:19:00.003+08:00

This afternoon met up with XiangYuan and Botak to discuss about the latter's wedding. I'm impressed with him for planning everything by himself. Hope we, as his groomsmen can help him as much as we can to make his wedding a memorable one. I'm kinda worried if i were to get married next time! Nothing muz go wrong cos its once in a lifetime event! Phew!

Has anyone ever seen the IKEA advertisment on buses and bus stops? I'm very impressed with it! Go and take a look at it!
http://www.ikea.com.sg/survey08/result.asp
Their BYOB is also very successful. Initially i was quite pissed with it cos i had to pay 10cents for e bag. But come to think about it, they are doing their bit to safeguard our environment. SO remember, whenever u wanna go IKEA to purchase anything, make sure you bring along a plastic bag, if not u will be few cents poorer!

I overheard a conversation between 2 teens talking about the newest handphone model on the bus. Now a handphone is no longer juz a phone. It's many things lump into a single gadget. Still remember my first ever handphone was e Nokia 5110.

It was during 1999 when i get this phone. Was then sec2 and was fascinated with the SNAKES. Well..I cant say that this phone is mine cos I managed to coax my dad to lend me for a few days to bring to school (for showing off that me too have a hp!) but it ended up he had to get for me a hp (i didnt noe wad black magic i put on him). So i had a hp of my own! a 3210!

It was then the first ever phone without the antenna. Originally it was grey in colour, but in order to make my 3210 more ViSiBle, i went to Pasar Malam to change into a bright green colour! Thought it was damn cool! haha~ Few years down the road, i changed my handphone to Nokia 8250! This model is gonna be my fave of all time!

Im really love the blue background colour! I dun think i can find any other phone today that look so simple, long lasting and exquisite like 8250 anymore.

2008-12-08T16:12:00.011+08:00

Early Saturday morning, i gave up my soccer to go to watch ger's graduation ceremony at Suntec Convention Hall. It's a diploma course which her Pre-U recommended her to take during the holidays while at the same time still taking her A'levels. It muz be hard on her to juggle between her Diploma and A's. But she still managed to complete it! Well Done ger! Hope u can good results for your A's!

I'm going to blog about my gal again!

Everytime i bring her to the bishan park dog area, i always forgot to take pictures cos im forever busy looking out for her. Managed to take some last Sat.

"Please keep dogs under control at all times and clean up after them"
Obviously they are telling us to clean up their pOo. But is the phrasing correct? Anyone can advise me?

2008-11-30T11:32:00.006+08:00

Botak is getting married? Who would have expected him first to? Everyone thought and bet that it would be Roy sadly for us, it was not meant to be. I was invited to be one of the groomsmen! SO looking forward!

-------------------------------Invitation Card---------------------------------

There's something which i really wanna voice out regarding the environment. Now everything is environment-friendly like the launching of BYOB day (which is not a success, but im glad IKEA did it!), Going Green with SMRT & advertistment by my company on Energy Conversation. But there's a loophole in all these; that is the declination of COE prices! How can this be happening where we are all trying our best to promote "being green"? Nowadays on the road, i see alot of new cars. So...what the heck? If this continues, our efforts are being drain away...

2008-11-25T21:30:00.004+08:00

Went to take my IPPT at Toa Payoh SAFRA on Sunday morning. I failed my last attempt last Sunday cos of my Standing Board Jump but this time guess wad? I finally PASSED! Abit surprised but who cares, so long i pass!

This is my score! yea..now is all electronic! Even the 2.4km run is by treadmill!

Afternoon bring my Gal to Bishan Park. That day was "Jack Russell Day"! 70% of the dogs were all JR! As usual, my dog was the friendliest of them all! I dun have any idea wad my Gal was doing in this pic. guess?

2008-11-19T19:34:00.009+08:00

Wanted to rent a Subaru Impreza Auto over the weekend from http://www.motorzcarleasing.com.sg but ended up with a Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 Manual. The salesman told me that the subaru went for servicing, so Qiao meh? But at least he gave me a discount. $210 for 3 days.

First stop on Saturday is to Tiong Bahru Market to have breakfast with my ger and family. I think my dad has been longing to go there to eat but hardly had a chance cos its so far from our house. I had the famous Lor Mee! After breakfast, we went straight down to Ikea cos my ger wanna buy candles to celebrate her friend's birthday (why of all place Ikea?) Other den candles, we also bought some plush toys and a red bin to put my doggies toys. Where she will do this;

Went to Lucky Plaza after that for my maid to do some shopping for herself. I came across this sunglass (3 for $10) At once, i thought i look cool! Well..for once only la! haha~

At night, I brought my beloved doggie to this pets cafe at Upp Thomson Rd, juz beside the famous Roti Prata. http://www.earthcafe.sg Basically you juz sit there and dine while your pets are leashed at the side. You can also order pet food for your pets.

Sunday afternoon was for my doggie again! This time i brought her to play and mix around with other breed of dogs. This playful little doggie of mine is so friendly! Whenever there's new dog coming in, she will be the first one to "smell" them. She simply dun care how small she is, keep running around chasing after bigger dogs like golden retriever which is at least 5 times the size of her. But can tell she had a great time, lots of fun!

A happy weekend is all dashed when i kena summon for parking on double yellow lines! Come'on, i juz parked for half an hour and there i kena! Maybe Heaven is punishing me cos im doing the same to other people? Well..but all those are offences committed wad!

2008-11-07T00:47:00.003+08:00

Monday was the president challenge event for us involving PUB & NEA. In case you duno, we come under the Ministry of Environment & Water Resources.

Challenge; Relay in teams of 4, climb up 25 storeys!

People might think that im siao-on to join this and too free. But actual fact is that im kinda kanna ArroW! This sounds so familiar during ARMY time right? yes! It's happening to govt agencies also! I'm the youngest in my dept so they assume im still fit. But i think otherwise. It's been a long time since i last exercise ever since i joined NEA. Thank God I'd been exercising for the past few days cos of my IPPT next sunday. So..Start..im the first one to go..actually the feeling is kinda great cos ppl are cheering u on. I chiong all the way to the 8th storey, yea! 8TH STOREY!

Me: 8
Colleague A: 7
Colleague B: 7
Colleague C (female): 3

What an arrangement man! When i reached the 8th storey, im half dead, feeling so dizzy due to rounding of the stairs. But..at the end of the day, its still for charity! Well done YQ!

NEA occasionally organise volunteering work and i volunteered in this visit to AWWA Childrens Home since its been a long time since i last went to a Home. My last time was when im in poly and they make it compulsory for us to do charity work in a Home at least once. That time we visit TOUCH. Those children at AWWA are so pitiful as most of them are either intellectually or physical disabled. Each 1 of us is paired up with a child and we have to engage them in activities like dancing. Im attached to this child who has fits. She was wearing a head protection to prevent her from hurting her head. She seems abit scared at first but after awhile can tell that she enjoyed herself especially the dance. We learnt how to make balloon scruptures and i managed to make a doggie for her! At the end of the day, i feel very happy! At least this is the least i can do for her. Make her happy!

I think we were'nt allowed to take pictures so i only took the magic show. The magician was a volunteer from NEA. Although many of his simple skills failed but muz congratulate him for the effort put in.

Its been a long time since i went to clarke quay late at night. I was sitting at the steps along the Singapore River opposite the shophouses. Just sharing wad i see;

Went to watch Sleague at Woodlands stadium between Woodlands and Tampines. The standard of Singapore football is really poor. The way they shoot the ball, well..i think my little nephew can do it better! And i duno why, everytime i went to watch, there will be no goals! BORING!

These few weeks, i keep receiving sms from MINDEF informing me to take IPPT! OKOK LA! I NOE I NEED TO TAKE, CAN STOP REMINDING ME? to say the truth, im really scare of failing cos i dun wan to take RT. Work already makes me so tired and no life, wad if i still need to take RT? I'd book my IPPT date on mid Nov. Just went for a run. Wah~ sibei cui! shag like heLL! how ar?

Last but not least

TADAH!

my beloved doggie!

I'm addicted to...

Jelly Beans!

Kinda interesting snacks to have! Thanks to my ger for introducing to me! I knew that this stuff exist since im young but i didnt get a chance to try it. Now its like, once u chew it, u cant stop feeling shiok!!!

Last week i came across this small girl that resemble me when im young. i went downstair coffeeshop to buy hokkien mee as my supper around 12+am. There's this young couple around 13 years old i guess, cos can see la, the girl not puberty yet. She went to order char kway teow, told the auntie that she didn't wan tau gay, hum, chilli. The auntie abit stunned with that expression of hers, i noe deep down inside she muz be thinking tat girl might as well dun eat la! This is wad's happening to me when im small. Whenever i eat mee or rice, i will spend the whole day trying to set aside the ingredients. Come to think about it, im really a spoilt brat!

It's been a long time since i last blogged. Too busy meeting my ger (taking her a's soon) and playing with my gal. Pls dun mixed up, ger is gf, gal is doggie! My ger bought me 2 pillows which i appreciated alot cos my 2 old pillows already as flat as roti prata, not comfy at all! But this 2 pillows really makes my sleep more "adventurous" cos i dreamt of "alot" of things! haha~

I was on the bus back to office in the afternoon where i came across this parent-child sitting behind me. I was really tired but couldn't bring myself to shut my eyes. Well..my ears were stretched..OH..i was eavesdropping. The conversation goes like this.

Dad: Did you eat today?
Child: Yeah
Dad: I gave u 5 bucks any leftover?
Child: No
Dad: Why muz u spent everything i gave u, u should be like your sis, i gave her 8 bucks she saved 5 bucks.
Child: O_o"

Dad: How was your spelling test today?
Child: Should be ok
Dad: Make sure you dun get an egg, if not i will treat u eat "guo tiao"
Child: 50 leh?
Dad: guo tiao
Child: 95 leh?
Dad: guo tiao
Child: 99 leh?
Dad: guo tiao.
Child: O_o"

Issit this a typical conversation every parents will discuss with their children about? It reminds me of the time when im still in primary. Thanked God my parents are not that strict, maybe because of that i become like this now.............Like wad my ger says; ask u study in poly dun study, always ask xiaomeimei out! HEY! since when man? Is it a crime to go out and have fun? =p

Nowadays din noe why im very into boybands. It brings back to my secondary school days. BBMak, Human Nature, A1, Westlife, BSB etc. HEY ZY, still remember the song we sang on teacher's day? All or nothing by Otown!

Friday morning brought my beloved doggie by the name of Gal for her final vaccinations. This is my first visit to a vet. Actually the consultation room there's nothing much, quite the same as the GP. Just that the posters on the wall showing the parts of doggie's internal organs, its very different from us human beings. Regarding all these, i think i still need to read up more. Anyway, the ever naughty Gal was still so enthusiatic after the jab, during which she shouted very loud! The vet even told us that she might be very quiet after we went home! But when she's home, she's still as lively as before, jumping around and chewing her toys! she certainly live up to the name of jack russell!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Every year, this is the most look forward festival cos i can get to eat mooncakes! My fave is gonna be those ice skin! Bought a box from bengawan solo for $30! Sibei shiok!

Over the weekend on Saturday night, i borrowed my bro-in-law car and drove my ger, mum, dad and maid to the chinese garden! Wah~ the entrance fee cost us $15 per pax so total i sponsor $75 plus $3 parking fee. Actually after coming out, i dun feel its worth $15. Maybe $5? The theme for this year is Hello Kitty!

The kids seems to enjoy themselves! But it seems to me they are like guinea pigs! haha~

A new member in my family!

A Jack Russell Terrier!

She's really a very naughty puppy who just cant sit still. Whenever she's out of the cage, she will run around, like someone who just been released from jail! This breed is really an athlete and hyper-active! So if you are looking for a guai dog, keep this breed out! But i didnt have any regrets cos she just like to make ppl LAUGH!!!

Have you ever come across a "boh paiseh" person? Well..i did! I was on the train home from Raffles Place. Dozed off immediately as the train starts to move. Woke up when i hear "woodlands". There's this indian family of 3 consist of parents and a kid. On my left side were 2 empty seat, on my right side there's 1. The mum and kid sat on my left. Then this dad stand in front of me and signal me to shift to my right side. I didn't noe if he said "excuse me, could u please give up this seat to me" or whatsoever as i was listening to my mp3. I stared at him for a few seconds and he just signal me to shift. So i just give him a irritated look and fark off! What the heck man? This guy really boh paiseh. Got the cheek to ask me to shift. Luckily i am alighting at the next stop. If not i simply wun care. I just dun like the way he signal me! Like he's the boss!

Today I encountered a irritating yet funny experience when on the bus on my way home from work. I was sitting at the back seat with a fat guy beside me. WAH, he was snoring loudly! Never mind since i was listening to my MP3. What makes me feel irritated is that he kept leaning against me, the force is of no joke man!! At times i just tried to jerk really hard but after a while he comes back. The people were all looking at him and giggling. How pathetic can he be?

See how shiok he is? Poor me!

It's my mum 56th birthday today! See wad my naughty nephew is trying to do?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY! GET WELL SOON!

Robinho is finally at Chelsea! Just 1 million short of Shevchenko. Hope he can repay us with his performances! All the best for SWR and Shevchenko!

It's my AHM today! Wake up at 5.15am to catch for the first train at 5.41am! The venue for this year is the same as last, starting at esplanade bridge. Met Zhenyu and his 2 friends there. I didn't train much for this year cos really busy with work, didn't feel i got the stamina to carry on when we reached 10km..feel like my knee is gonna give way anytime. But it was Zhenyu who's leg give way first at the 14km mark. As the route between 13 and 15km is very bumpy, we might as well stopped running since Zhenyu can't continue anymore. Managed to catch some pics on the way;

This is the finisher medal;

I had a sky dining dinner date arranged for ger and me. Ever heard of it? It's basically having dinner in a cable car going for 3 rounds to and fro. This is how they bring the table into the cable car;

It was drizzling outside, all the sunset and scenery were all spoilt!

Appetizer;

Main Course;

When we first boarded the cable car, there's 1 photographer taking a pic for us. This cost 35 bucks! (1 big foto, 2 small foto and a tat watery thingy)

This marks my programme for you ger!

Recommended for marriage proposal cos the ambience is just right! But make sure its a clear and fine day!

Friday, 22/08/2008;

It was me and my ger's 1year anniversary and i was on leave on Friday! Met her and her friends for dinner and fireworks after that. We went to the new SAKURA (JAP) restaurant near NUS (Kent Ridge). Took a bus (forgot the number) and the driver taught us how to go, just simply need to cross the bridge to get to the other side and follow a small road in. It was raining heavily and its impossible to walk in. So we flagged a cab and got in. If only we know its just less than 5mins, we wun mind the rain! Cab fare was $5.10! So next time do not come to this branch if its raining! There's no shelter!

Sakura(Halal)

It was quite a romantic place. Spiral staircase leading to B1 and B2 for the restaurant. The food was great! With alot of varities with most of, seafood.

After our dinner, we walk outside to the main road to find a cab. It was by then already 8.40pm and the fireworks will start at 9pm. Some of the cabs did not wan to pick us up. Think its because they knew we will be going to watch the fireworks and will be caught in a jam. Finally a kind cab pick us up. As usual for all cabby, he will tell us the road will be jammed blah blah blah...Reached. He will only stop us at marina shopping centre taxi stand cos according to him, the road beside esplanade will be jammed. So we quickly make our way there. The road was clear O_O" but its ok, wad that matters most is we can catch the fireworks. Seated on the stands and waited for 20mins, BAH!!! Fireworks!

All this for 15mins cost $10!

Worth it?

Cheers~

I was on my way from Havelock Rd back to the office where i came across this woman. She approached me and told me that she was looking for a job, i was startled, I wasn't listening to the rest of the things she said cos in my mind, i thought she really wanna ask me to recommend her a job, was thinking of what to say and out of a sudden, she told me that she got a diabetic mum and she got alot of siblings to support. Immediately something struck my mind, AH! She wanna me to give her $$$! I thought, It's been a long time since i last donated (I'm contributing to Com Chest every month thru my pay!), so i ask her how much she wans! She told me $8! So i hand over $4 to her and left.....on the way to the MRT station, i was wondering if she really meant wad she said....if u were me....will you give her $$$, half (same as me) or none at all?

PS: KAKA coming to Chelsea??? Wad a joke! Congrats to John Terry for being named England captain!

During the recent National Day Rally Speech, the one that raised my eyebrows most is the extended maternity leave from 12 weeks to 16 weeks. It might sound beneficial to us but what about to those small companies? Can they afford to "lose" someone for 4 months? What about those colleagues who gonna cover for the mummy? More jobs? More displeasure? This is what is happening to my workplace NOW!

I had a nasty experience which made me feel like some Singaporeans are just plain selfish! I was with my ger at boon lay bus interchange waiting for bus 242. We managed to board the bus but was standing at the front door steps. WHY? Simply because people at the back just refuses to move in! Who knows how terrible standing at the steps would be, especially when the door open and close! We need to siam here and there to avoid being clamped by the door! If they were considerate enough, the bus can occupy another 20 more people! SELFISH!

Now to my beloved Chelsea! Based on the performances of the first match against Portsmouth, i can confidently say that Chelsea can win the title this year, provided Man U cant find a new striker. It's abit strange that Joe Cole started as a striker, but he still managed to grab a goal thanks to a precise pass from Ballack. I don't think Anelka can make it big in Chelsea, he missed too many glorious chances! Can please call back Shevchenko when he's fit? I really dun believe he's that bad! Deco proved to be an excellent signing with that spectacular GOAL! What about that for a midfield quintuplets consisting of Joe Cole, Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Essien!!! In my opinion, whether Chelsea can win or not will depends alot on Carvalho.

ALL THE WAY!!!

9 more days to Army Half Marathon! Today i went to collect the goodie bag at Toa Payoh SAFRA. As usual, need to line in queue for 45mins! The most "look forward" to is their t-shirt, which in my opinion is nicer den last year;

On the way to the MRT Station, i saw my ex Cresendo room-mate! His name is Chun Xi! It reminds me of my time there! If only i can turn back the time, i wun go there, so that i can have a happy time with my family now...

46 more days to F1 Grand Prix Singapore! Anyone care to sponsor me? The cheapest ticket is $498 at Padang! Hope it will be live on TV? Why cant they give Singaporeans some discount since this is held on our home soil?

Stretching back, it was during my BMT days that i first started watching. All because of the F1 magazine. I was actually looking for some soccer magazines to bring in to Tekong but all was so expensive. Should noe la, that time only take $350 so cant afford to buy. Then i came across F1 which is slightly cheaper then most of the soccer magazines, so i decided to buy. Afterall i just wanna find something to occupy myself during the journey on ferry to Tekong. Since then, i always managed to catch half of the race on Sunday as i need to book in. Juan Pablo Montoya was my fave. Too bad he's gone to NASCAR. Wish him well!

I was on the way to work by train. This guy who was sitting beside me really irks me! His legs were spread so far apart that basically i got no room to sit comfortably. It's not as if his "brother" is so big? I tried nudging him but he just ignored me. I must admit that sometimes me too, will spread my legs but i will try not to cross the seat "boundary". This is just so natural that men like to sit with their legs open, the more open it is, the more comfortable it is. If you ask me to cross my legs like the ladies, i really cant man! So please pardon us ladies....cos you should noe why we did that....

Im so into photoshop now! There is this online photoshop that you can spice up your dull photos.
